Greek Gods Grab Another Reader

I received this post from one of my incoming 5th graders. I was so excited to see that he had found an author and a series that excited and ignited him. He will definitely be one of my "Go-To" guys for Fantasy Fiction recommendations.

Dear Mrs. Wollmering,

I have read the whole Percy Jackson series. It is 5 books. And I read The Son Of Neptune. I really liked the series. I liked learning about the Greek gods. What should I read next?

I hope you are having a fun summer.

Reading With Dad Makes Summer Reading Hot!

Congrats to this Judy Blume Fan who was the first student to respond to my Summer Reading Challenge. What are the rest of you reading? Send me your picture and thoughts in an Email and I'll share your message in a blog post just like this one.


Dear Mrs. Wollmering,

I am reading "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" with my Dad. The funniest
part about the book is when the kid named Fudge said, "Goodbye, Rat Face."
Another funny thing is when Fudge's friend said, "Do you want to make
something of it." I like this book because Fudge is funny. I also like when
we get to the end of the chapters because then we can start a new one. And
also, in the first chapter, when Fudge didn't eat his food and his dad
said, "Eat it or wear it." I liked that part, too. And also, when Fudge's
dad poured the food on Fudge's head. I thought that was funny, too.







Summer Reading Is Hot!

Research has shown that it is critical for children to continue to read over the summer months when school is not in session. Here is information about the Summer Reading Program that I created for my students.
